How to Create a Memorial Page on lifestory.page

Step-by-step guide to creating a digital life story page — from gathering photos to publishing a page your family can visit for years.

Creating a memorial page does not have to happen all at once. Most families start small and build the story over weeks or months.

Before you begin

Gather what you already have:

  • A few good photographs
  • Basic dates and places
  • One or two stories a relative has told you

Step 1: Create an account

Register on lifestory.page — it takes a few minutes. You can use email or sign in with Google.

Step 2: Start a new memorial

Open the memorial creation form. You will move through life stages: childhood, education, work, family, and more. Skip any section you are not ready to fill.

Step 3: Add photos and facts

Upload images for each stage. Short notes are enough — you can expand them later. If you have an obituary or family notes, use them as a starting point.

Step 4: Choose visibility

Decide whether the page is:

  • Public — visible in the catalog
  • Private — only you can see it
  • Family — shared with relatives you invite

Step 5: Review and publish

Read through the page. Ask another family member to check names and dates. Publish when it feels right — you can always edit later.

Optional: AI-assisted biography

If you have listed facts but struggle with wording, AI can suggest a draft biography. Always review and edit the text yourself — the final words should come from your family.
